Most Passionate MemberDonadoni will use a 4-5-1 -> 4-3-3 formation, like he always did with Italy. No need to speculate formations. I'd be very surprised if he changed it. After all, he stuck with it after losing 3-1 to France!

No posters with Italian blood here? Meanwhile Lippi is our new coach.
Next tuesday we will play a friendley match against Brasil. There is a big chance that Maldini will be called up, and this is only to honour him and give him a last goodbye. It would be a beautiful sign.
At the confederations cup, from 14-28 july, Italy will play with a special shirt. This is to honour our great prestige in 1934 and 1938, where we became worldchampions 2 times in a row (lets do this again in 2010!)

Lippi just said that Maldini will not get his goodbye against Brasil. Lippi said this match is a important test for him, so he can't use a goodbye of Maldini.
Maldini has to wait but will get a nice goodbye another time.
I can't wait untill the match starts, i'm sure it will be really nice!

No DP YEAAHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grande Lippi. I don't care if Tiribocchi is called up, DP is a disgrace and always sucked for the NT. He even sucks for Juventus except his free kicks.

Yes it is. But this will change in the future with our Italian talents. Also Santon, Bolzoni etc are playing for Italy -20, they might make it too, because they are really good.
It would be great to see 4 or 5 Nerazzurri in the Azzurri in the next 5 years.
I wish I could agree with you, but he can still be brilliant for Juve, and he had done important work in the world cup too. It's pretty unique at his age for a striker. Shame he is Juventino....
Only when the Azzurri play I like all the players; except Camoranesi...but he is an Argentine as well.
The match of Italy - Brazil will be played in the Emerates stadion at 20.00 CET.

Forum SupporterI think Floccari and Di Vaio should be there... It's all Politics. Inquinta never plays for Juve anymore and Toni! he's finished now...
Del Piero is still one of the best players in serie A so in fairness he should be there. Cassano has been above average this season but if he was surrounded by better players he would look a lot better. Its a shame he cant break through to the national squad.

Yes indeed. I wonder if it would be right to call up a old player like Di Vaio. I think Lippi should look ahead and use players that can be important in the next 2 years. But the names he called up now don't make sense indeed.
I don't think that it's accidently that the most players are called up from Juventus. That's really Lippi......I didn't want him to return back and we won't win the WC again with him....Lippi is too much a Juventino to call up the right players.
